ADVISORY/StarGen to Discuss the Benefits of Advanced Serial Switched Interconnects at Military Electronics Conference 2003.News Editors/Assignment Desks ADVISORY...for Tuesday Tuesday: see week. (Sept. 16) Military Electronics Conference 2003 --(BUSINESS WIRE) Military Design Engineer Conference to Feature StarGen's Presentation Highlighting use of StarFabric, PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. and Advanced Switching (AS) in Military Systems
WHO: Stephen Christo of StarGen was invited to deliver a
presentation on "New Degrees of Architectural Freedom for
Embedded Distributed Processing Systems." Christo is director
of strategic marketing at StarGen and is the editor of the
PICMG 2.17 and PICMG 3.3 specifications. Attendees will learn
the benefits of embedded distributed processing and the
interconnect requirements within military electronics
applications. The presentation will feature how using advanced
serial switched interconnect architectures, such as
StarFabric, PCI Express(TM) and Advanced Switching (AS), can
advance the state of a wide range of systems, in terms of
scalability, performance, and other advanced features.
WHAT: A fabless semiconductor company that supplies advanced
serial switched interconnect solutions, StarGen's StarFabric
bridges and switch products are currently in full-production,
with its most recent addition, the SG3010, TDM-to-StarFabric
bridge in sample availability. StarFabric-based products are
currently being designed-in to a wide range of market segments
- including military electronics. StarGen recently unveiled
the development of a new line of products, the StarXpress
family of bridges and switches based on PCI Express and AS.
WHERE: The Military Electronics Conference and Showcase 2003
(www.mes2003.com), a Penton Technology Media event, will take
place at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD. The
show is a venue for designers of military systems and design
engineers to learn more about the technologies and products
that impact designs. The Military Electronics Conference
presents technical sessions focusing on all levels of military
component and system design, such as software simulation and
test techniques, and it offers an exhibition area for
manufacturers to showcase their latest hardware, software, and
test equipment for government and military applications.
WHEN: The conference will take place from Tuesday, September 16th
through Wednesday, Septembers 17th. Specifically, StarGen's
presentation will be on Tuesday, the 16th, from 1:30 to 2:00
p.m.
About StarGen StarGen is a semiconductor company providing advanced serial switched interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another. solutions for compute To perform mathematical operations or general computer processing. For an explanation of "The 3 C's," or how the computer processes data, see computer. and communications equipment. It is the leading designer of low-overhead, protocol-agnostic, open standards-based serial switched architectures, which enable system designers to bring new capabilities to their system while using existing standards-based parts. StarGen's currently shipping StarFabric product line benefits vendors of access communication platforms for voice, data, and video networks as well as vendors of embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. needing enhanced switched PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS.

StarGen is also currently developing StarXpress, a complementary line of products built upon the Advanced Switching standard and compatible with PCI Express(TM). These products will be ideal solutions for blade server A server architecture that houses multiple server modules ("blades") in a single chassis. It is widely used in datacenters to save space and improve system management. Either self-standing or rack mounted, the chassis provides the power supply, and each blade has its own CPU, memory and , storage, and mid-range

For example, a central server of some kind with ten clients may perform adequately but with a thousand clients it , reliability, and Quality of Service while maintaining backward compatibility See backward compatible.
